Automatic Transmission problems of the 2010 Subaru Outback

I took my 2010 Subaru Outback to my dealer to have my front brakes checked. It felt like they were grabbing, and I wanted to check the wear. They checked the brakes, cleaned them up, and stated they were at normal wear for 35,000 miles. In the next breath, they stated I needed a new transmission. I still have not gotten an exact reason why my two year old car needs a new transmission. I have a cvt automatic/manual transmission. The dealer was very vague as to what happened. They stated it was the first one they've seen this happen to.

Engine idle drops 200 rpm below normal under braking at low speeds. Sometimes this results in an engine stall in traffic. Subaru of America suggested a transmission "retraining" which seems to have cured the issue.

My husband has tried contacting both Subaru north american corporate office and the eastern regional office regarding the several recalls he has received on his 2010 Subaru Outback. He went to the top because the people at the dealership are - well - stupid; and he his concerned about their ability to "fix" the car properly. He asked the dealer about TSB's and was told there were none; when in deed there are four (4). The people he has contacted are at the vice president level of management. He has also tried to speak to someone in the president's (thomas doll) office. Everyone refers him to an 800 customer service number. The people at this number know nothing about cars; all they do is read off what is ever written on their computer screen. Of course, Subaru has no plant manufacturing problems; their problems are all caused by the companies they get their components from. My husband does not want to be "put-off"; he wants someone from Subaru's upper management to give him a call right away.

The contact owns a 2010 Subaru Outback. While driving approximately 30 mph he applied pressure to the brake pedal. He took his foot off of the brake pedal before reaching a stop sign and attempted to accelerate. The vehicle momentarily hesitated before accelerating. The failure recurred while driving approximately 30 mph whenever he attempted to accelerate after applying the brakes. He also stated that while driving approximately 75 mph he took his foot off of the accelerator pedal but the vehicle did not begin to decelerate for approximately 4 seconds. This failure also recurred whenever he was driving approximately 75 mph. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where he was informed that the vehicle was manufactured to operate in that manner. The failure mileage was 2,000 and the current mileage was 8,000.
